I like it alot. I have the original version in the wood pot and they have done a few tweaks on the recipe when they released the plastic pots I have tried the 2nd version (2.0) but not the latest version 2.1 which is what you will be getting.

It isn't the easiest wax to apply and get the best from, no apply and buff after 20 minutes, the wax is very slow to fully cure as it uses more natural solvents compared to the likes of collinite etc. the process I use is apply 60 minutes later buff off, 24 hours later wash again (if it has been used) and buff the car again with a clean microfibre. if you miss the 2nd buff you can get what will look like holograms or swirls then another 24 hours after apply a 2nd coat in the same way and it will last for about 4-6 months.

I havn't used it on silver myself but different waxes for different coloured cars isn't somthing I buy in to, a wax should just leave a clear layer on top of what ever you have done below it. I find it performs as good if not better than much more expensive waxes, yes it is expensive to buy but it is very good and deffinatly a better finish and durability than some other waxes that cost more. There are also cheaper waxes out there that perform very well it all depends what your prepared to pay.

The Dodo Juice stuff is always good. However, some of it is way too expensive in my opinion. Something I was taught.....why would you want to put something that is 'natural' on a car (that is man made)? Stick with a decent sealant mate
